Baby Update: 34 Weeks

Maternity clothes? Pretty
much exclusively. Now that the weather has warmed up I have been able to bring skirts back into my wardrobe a bit.

Stretch Marks? Not yet

Sleep: 3rd trimester insomnia has hit me hard! I am lucky to get a few hours of sleep per night

Best moment this week: The midwife confirmed that the baby turned and is now head down YAY!

Miss Anything? Wearing more than the same 5 shirts over and over, and being able to be more active

Movement: Baby squirms around a lot, but no more somersaults. He/she likes to slide his/her foot along my right rib, back and forth. Feet in the ribs means head-down, though, so I'm happy!

I have really slowed down, with lots of aches and pains making any kind of activity difficult. I still try to go for short walks though.

Food cravings: Any kind of fruit that is juicy and lemonade.

Gender Prediction: We
will find out when baby arrives! Make sure you vote in the green box on the right side of
this blog.

Symptoms: Lots of aches and pains, and swelling if I do too much.

Labor Signs: I didn't realize I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions until my midwife pointed them out last week (I had one while she was examining me...apparently). I thought there was more to them!

Mood: Happy and excited. I am totally bonded with this little one already, and I love it. I'm anxious to meet him/her!

Looking forward to: Finishing our nursery. We have everything in place now except for the bedding, which should be coming next week. Then I get to show the final result to you guys. I'm also looking forward to my last day of work this coming Friday

About Me

I am a 29 year old child of God. I'm completely imperfect and yet saved by God's grace. I consider this my little online coffee shop (probably more of a tea shop if it was my taste), where I get to talk with other Christian women and share some of my interests: living debt-free, crafts, cooking, fashion, family, pregnancy, babies, etc. I live in Ohio with my husband and baby.
